CJ  ANNOUNCEMENT : Since  1911,  v/hen 
the  State  Board  of  Education  granted  to  the 
University  of  Southern  California  the  right 
to  issue  recommendations  for  High  School 
Teachers’  Certificates,  the  Preparatory  School 
has  been  transformed  into  a model  secondary 
school.  In  furnishing  training  classes  for  grad- 
uate students,  who  are  required  by  law  to 
have  a semester’s  experience  in  practice-teach- 
ing, it  has  become  an  integral  part  of  the 
Department  of  Education  of  the  University. 
The  school  as  now  organized  is  conducted 
under  the  direction  and  tuition  of  the  Head 
Professor  of  Education,  a competent  principal, 
a supervisor  of  class  instruction,  and  a faculty 
of  assistant  instructors,  who  hold  one  or  more 
degrees  from  colleges  and  universities  of  first- 
rate  standing.  This  plan  secures  for  the 
patrons  of  the  school  the  peculiar  educational 
advantages  of  a large  faculty  with  corres- 
pondingly small  classes  in  which  instruction  is 
given  with  the  oversight  of  expert  teachers. 

€|  In  order  to  provide  for  this  model  school  a 
select  class  of  students,  the  Board  of  Trustees 
has  recently  authorized  the  President  of  the 
University,  beginning  September,  1914,  to 
limit  the  number  of  students  to  150,  and  to 
reduce  the  tuition  fee  from  $45.00  to  $25.00 


a semester.  Hereafter,  therefore,  students 
who  desire  admission  to  the  University  high 
school  will  be  required  to  procure  from  the 
principal  a blank  form  of  application  on  which 
they  will  state  their  scholastic  attainments  and 
references  as  to  moral  character.  All  appli- 
cations will  be  placed  on  file  in  the  order  in 
which  they  are  received,  and  those  that  come 
in  after  the  limited  number  has  been  reached 
will  be  placed  on  the  waiting  list.
